OPINION
Even though West Ham suffered a heavy 4-0 defeat at the hands of Manchester City, some fans have still found the time to praise the performance of Declan Rice, but who can blame them? He was the best out of a bad bunch and he was one of the only positives to take away from this fixture. Yes, nobody was expecting the Hammers to end City’s unbeaten run in the Premier League, but you would expect them to put up a little bit of a fight. They did have a few chances where they could have scored, but you have got to be a lot better when you play a side with the quality of City. Once again, Rice has received the praise that he so rightly deserves and he will continue to do so if he maintains this level of performance. He has proved to be completely undroppable – and he will be crucial to the club’s success this season.
